An increase in coronary perfusion pressure leads to increased cardiac contractility, a phenomenon known as the Gregg effect. Exogenous endothelin (ET)-1 exerts a positive inotropic effect; however, the role of endogenous ET-1 in the contractile response to elevated load is unknown. We characterized here the role of ETA and ETB receptors in regulation of contractility in isolated, perfused mouse hearts subjected to increased coronary flow. Elevation of coronary flow from 2 to 5 ml/min resulted in 80 +/- 10% increase in contractile force (P < 0.001). BQ-788 (ETB receptor antagonist) augmented the load-induced contractile response by 35% (P < 0.05), whereas bosentan (ETA/B receptor antagonist) and BQ-123 (ETA receptor antagonist) attenuated it by 34% and 56%, respectively (P < 0.05). CV-11974 (ANG II type 1 receptor antagonist) did not modify the increase in contractility. These results show that endogenous ET-1 is a key mediator of the Gregg effect in mouse hearts. Moreover, ET-1 has a dual role in the regulation of cardiac contractility: ETA receptor-mediated increase in contractile force is suppressed by ETB receptors.
